Making sure that games start and end on time is key to a good gaming experience especially when play‐ ers have responsibilities outside the game. Hopefully we can give you a few tips to help you out.

First of all, this game is completely free to those that are interested and it is available on‐line as a download. It is not an official product, but if it was, it would be a great start! The concept of the Doctor Who Solitary Story Game is a bit like a choose‐your‐ own‐adventure book, except that the game comes in four general books (the Rules Booklet, the Events Booklet, the Adventure Booklet, and the Enemy Booklet – all pic‐ tured on the left). Rather than make only a single decision at each juncture, the game is played in turns. In each turn, the player follows a set order of play to include an Ac‐ tion, then usually an Encounter, and sometimes some Fighting. As each of these stages of a turn happens you are referred to a specific paragraph that can be found in one of the game’s four main books, and often you have to roll 2d6 to determine the outcome of certain situations that happen. After the turn is finished, the player than begins the next turn and follows the game pattern over again, as they try to solved the mystery or adventure at hand. As a player follows the instructions of the paragraphs, and makes their way through the free‐form story, they may acquire new equipment, allies, or companions. By the end, you may find yourself having defeated the villains or having been thwarted in your attempt. The game’s realization is a bit of a mixed bag. The game looks great and has wonderful cover artwork. Inside the images are nice and the layout clear and easy to focus on. However, when we first tried to play the game using the instructions in the rule book, we got a bit lost as to what we were supposed to do. It can sometimes be hard to understand where to start or where to go, as the game directs one to different paragraphs in different books to follow the story arc. Understanding what to do in a turn and how to proceed with play is not completely self‐evident. Reading just the basic rules at the start of the Rules Booklet did not help us enough to understand the game at first read. However, once we downloaded the Example of Play, we were able to catch on to how the game’s story telling style works, and proceed through a game. The example of play really should be a part of the Rules Booklet proper. It is invalu‐ able for enjoying the game. It does take some time to get used to the coding system for each book. For example e230 means paragraph 230 in the Events Booklet, but there is also an Enemy Booklet (which obviously also starts with the letter “e”) so that was confusing as there were a number of times we could not remember which book to go to. The Enemy Booklet’s paragraphs actually start with the letter “v”. If this is the case why not sim‐ ply call it the “Villains Booklet” and avoid the confusion? Sure, we know that Daleks are monsters not villains, but in a story based game such as this every indicator that helps one through the story, rather than breaking up the pace by making one look for the right book, makes the game flow and play better. At the very least, perhaps a large letter in the right hand corner of each booklet’s cover would quickly remind us which paragraphs are inside each booklet. Also hard to follow was that paragraphs in each booklet start with different numbers. For example, all Adventure Booklet paragraphs are numbers that are in the THE GAME’S FOUR CORE BOOKS 3 400s (Rules Booklet paragraphs are in the 300s, Events Booklet paragraphs are in 000s, and Enemy Booklet paragraphs are in the 500s). We could not figure out why the num‐ bering was so spread out, especially since the paragraphs each start with a letter desig‐ nator for the book anyway. Every adventure is started in the TARDIS on the first page of the of the Adventure Booklet at paragraph a400. This was confusing in two ways: first, the game itself does not start in the core rule book, and secondly it starts at the number 400. Why not have the first paragraph of every adventure start in the rule book (where most players will start their understanding of the game), at the first paragraph of play (thus r001 seems the logical place for every game to begin and branch out from).

  • DOCTOR WHO LOGOPOLIS Christopher H. Bidmead Based On
    DOCTOR WHO LOGOPOLIS Christopher H. Bidmead Based on the BBC television serial by Christopher H. Bidmead by arrangement with the British Broadcasting Corporation 1. Events cast shadows before them, but the huger shadows creep over us unseen. When some great circumstance, hovering somewhere in the future, is a catastrophe of incalculable consequence, you may not see the signs in the small happenings that go before. The Doctor did, however - vaguely. While the Doctor paced back and forth in the TARDIS cloister room trying to make some sense of the tangle of troublesome thoughts that had followed him from Traken, in a completely different sector of the Universe, in a place called Earth, one such small foreshadowing was already beginning to unfold. It was a simple thing. A policeman leaned his bicycle against a police box, took a key from the breast pocket of his uniform jacket and unlocked the little telephone door to make a phone call. Police Constable Donald Seagrave was in a jovial mood. The sun was shining, the bicycle was performing perfectly since its overhaul last Saturday afternoon, and now that the water-main flooding in Burney Street was repaired he was on his way home for tea, if that was all right with the Super. It seemed to be a bad line. Seagrave could hear his Superintendent at the far end saying, 'Speak up . Who's that . .?', but there was this whirring noise, and then a sort of chuffing and groaning . The baffled constable looked into the telephone, and then banged it on his helmet to try to improve the connection.

  • 1 Asdatown: the Intersections of Classed Places and Identities. Dr. B
    Asdatown: The intersections of classed places and identities. Dr. B. Gidley and Dr. Alison Rooke Dept of Sociology Goldsmiths Introduction This chapter will explore the intersections between classed places and identities, focusing on the UK and examining the ways in which the figures of the ‘chav’ and the ‘pikey’ have been represented in British popular culture and in official policy discourses. We will argue that these representations conflate the racialized identity of the Gypsy Traveller with white working class identities and draw on the presence or proximity of Irish or Gypsy Travellers to the white ‘underclass’ in order to metonymically racialize the white working class as a whole. The politics of space, we will argue, is central to this process. Existing sociological and cultural geography literature hints at the active role of the spatial imaginary in classing people (Charleworth 2000, Robson 2000, Haylett 2000, Hewitt 2005, Skeggs 2005). We will argue that particular spaces and places – housing estates, and places described as ‘chav towns’ – are used discursively as a way of fixing people in racialized class positions. In British culture, there is a long history of reading poverty and class spatially. Indeed, the roots of British empirical sociology can be found in a middle class preoccupation with the poor working class others who could be located in districts of the city. While the persistence of poverty is explained in policy discourse in terms of ‘cycles’ and ‘cultures’ of poverty entrenched in a regressive or ‘backwards’ working 1 class, we will argue that what is regressive – and tainted by its Victorian imperialist history – is the persistent classing gaze which fixes working class people in place.

    THE The Magazine Of Genesis Sci-Fi October 2013 The Magazine Of Genesis Sci-Fi September 2013 Hello, one and all, welcome back to Genesis. First of all, I would like to thank Paul Belsey for last Chairman: month’s programme, and it was so good to see some old Paul Russell favourites not seen in a long time. This month sees the return of Matt as programme editor and quiz master. Now, Vice Chairman this month I have already seen a copy of the programme; David Offen-James unlike last month; and know it is up to Matt’s usual high standard of illustrious innovation (We’re also showing the Treasurer: original Star Trek episode Spock’s Brain - Ed). The choices Matthew Greet for the film vote are somewhat different, but what else would we expect from Matt? Events Secretary: Paul Belsey Now I am “semi” retired, and by this I mean working longer and harder than I ever did when in full time Membership employment, it was with some surprise that I looked at Secretary: my calendar and noticed it was already October!

  • The Aesthetics of Mainstream Androgyny
    The Aesthetics of Mainstream Androgyny: A Feminist Analysis of a Fashion Trend Rosa Crepax Goldsmiths, University of London Thesis submitted for the degree of Ph.D. in Sociology May 2016 1 I confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Rosa Crepax Acknowledgements I would like to thank Bev Skeggs for making me fall in love with sociology as an undergraduate student, for supervising my MA dissertation and encouraging me to pursue a PhD. For her illuminating guidance over the years, her infectious enthusiasm and the constant inspiration. Beckie Coleman for her ongoing intellectual and moral support, all the suggestions, advice and the many invaluable insights. Nirmal Puwar, my upgrade examiner, for the helpful feedback. All the women who participated in my fieldwork for their time, patience and interest. Francesca Mazzucchi for joining me during my fieldwork and helping me shape my methodology. Silvia Pezzati for always providing me with sunshine. Laura Martinelli for always being there when I needed, and Martina Galli, Laura Satta and Miriam Barbato for their friendship, despite the distance. My family, and, in particular, my mum for the support and the unpaid editorial services. And finally, Goldsmiths and everyone I met there for creating an engaging and stimulating environment. Thank you. Abstract Since 2010, androgyny has entered the mainstream to become one of the most widespread trends in Western fashion. Contemporary androgynous fashion is generally regarded as giving a new positive visibility to alternative identities, and signalling their wider acceptance. But what is its significance for our understanding of gender relations and living configurations of gender and sexuality? And how does it affect ordinary people's relationship with style in everyday life? Combining feminist theory and an aesthetics that contrasts Kantian notions of beauty to bridge matters of ideology and affect, my research investigates the sociological implications of this phenomenon.
